2016 Map of George West

About this map

The Nueces River winds through the heart of this Live Oak County landscape, shaping a terrain defined by deep drainages like Gamble Gully and Little Gamble Gully. In the northwest, the town of George West serves as a central hub, its street grid reaching toward the Live Oak County Airport. To the east and south, the land transitions into a series of named breaks including Ramie Hollow and Halley Hollow, leading toward the upper reaches of Lake Corpus Christi. Genealogists will find significant value in the proximity of several burial grounds, notably the Gussettville Cem and the Old Gussettville Cem, which sit near a sharp bend in the river. This alignment of historic cemeteries and river crossings illustrates the early settlement patterns of the region prior to modern highway developments like N Hwy 37 Acc.
